Rise of Humanity

Chapter 133 - The Divine Eye That Cuts the Yuan Shen

“You will stimulate the fire and let it burn in my body?” The countless King Tengs were stunned as they were lost on the meaning of Zhong Yue’s words.

King Teng’s body was incredibly weird as even though the fire that went on a rampage in the Monster God Ming King’s palace and kept burning away his vines, they would not even die due to the continuous vitality given to them by King Teng.

His vitality was incredibly strong, exceeding every monster out there. Thus, although the vines were all burnt by the fire, they would unceasingly be replenished by the vitality that King Teng condensed from the visualization of his arts.

Not only that, the rampant fire did not even manage to affect his combat prowess in the slightest as King Teng continued to launch fierce and unstoppable attacks that were even stronger than before!

On the pontoon bridge, Yu Xuanji and Hu Qimei looked up and all they could see was a huge fireball ascending from the palace. As soon as the fiery red ball appeared, their faces turned red due to the scorching heat released by it.

That fireball was the 【Boundless Great Sun】 formed by Zhong Yue, it was a sun formed by his fire of the great sun.

However, the sun was only half of its full form. Its other half was sealed away as King Teng’s vines shrouded the entire Monster God Ming King’s palace, restricting the other half of the sun’s ascension.

The half sun rained fire all over the Monster God palace and the innumerable huge vines were set ablaze. The entanglement of the blazing fire and the jade green vines formed a very enthralling scene.

Upon seeing this scene, hopes burgeoned within both Yu Xuanji and Hu Qimei again. Hu Qimei then murmured, “Such amazing fire abilities… Maybe Brother Long Yue’s fire could actually burn through the seals cast by King Teng. Perhaps he has a chance of defeating him…”

“There’s little possibility of that happening.”

Yu Xuanji replied worriedly, “Someone tried to burn him with fire and that person was an Awakening level Qi Practitioner and even was helpless to do anything against King Teng. What I am more concerned about is whether Brother Long Yue can make it out alive. If he is able to escape, then he can bring us along with him and King Teng will definitely be unable to catch up to him.”

Hu Qimei nodded to Yu Xuanji’s remark. In truth, they would not blame Zhong Yue if he did not bring them with him when he escapes as were not related at all. Thus, there was no need for him to burden himself.

However, it doesn't matter if the person is a human or a monster, that person will definitely want to keep on living instead of dying. And with that, they certainly hoped that Zhong Yue could escape alive from King Teng.

“Brother Long Yue, what are you waiting for? Run, quickly!” shouted Yu Xuanji as he could not hold back anymore.

Hu Qimei became nervous as well and she shouted, “You will have nowhere to run if King Teng extinguishes all of your fire! What are you still waiting for?”

Their shouts were however, ignored as Zhong Yue said to King Teng, “That’s right, the fire that will kill you will start in your body. One of the Sword Qi I launched just now was a fire elemental Sword Qi and the fire of that Sword Qi was made with the spirit of fire that was merged with the sun’s fire in my body. The fire will erupt as I trigger it.”

In the palace, Yu Xuanji and Hu Qimei’s shout could be vaguely heard and the two fiery wings behind Zhong Yue slashed forward, launching out fiery Sword Qi towards the plunging King Teng while Zhong Yue’s Yuan Shen and body cast out the Ba Ji Slaughtering Array to fend off the other King Tengs.

Whereas for the eight hands of the huge vine man, Zhong Yue took on his attacks directly without avoiding them.

“You shouldn’t have sealed my seven Sword Qi in your body because I am better in carvings compared to swordsmanship.”

Zhong Yue smiled and said, “When you were still pursuing me, I had already carved the Great Sun and Golden Crow totem patterns onto most of the vines in your body. The reason why I set this palace alight was because I wanted to force your Yuan Shen out, not to kill you with the fire!”

Boom boom boom!

Fire suddenly erupted on from the inside of the huge vine man and fire started ravaging all over the body of the huge vine man. The fire then turned into a huge burning conflagration that looked like a miniature sun, out of which, flew countless three-taloned golden crows, setting the body of the vine man ablazed.

Zhong Yue’s 【Boundless Great Sun】 shrouded the entire palace with its flames. The entire palace was filled with fire and countless suns ascended from the fire, producing countless three-taloned golden crows that absorbed the heat from the 【Boundless Great Sun】. Just imagine the temperature of the golden crows!

The huge body of the vine man began to collapse and the golden crows that covered the skies charged towards the countless King Tengs, destroying, burning, crushing and slicing them into pieces with their sharp claws, wings and explosions!

Zhong Yue eventually stopped attacking and his Yuan Shen flew up into the skies, visualizing the eight hands of Ming King with his body.

“I found out your weakness as soon as we fought, which is your Yuan Shen!”

Zhong Yue showed a sharp expression and both of his eyes that contained the majesty of Yin and Yang - the Sun and the Moon pupils stared imperiously at King Teng while he said, “You quickly retracted your Yuan Shen when you discovered it was weaker than mine when we began our fight. Then, you summoned this vine treant and that was when I immediately realized that your Yuan Shen was your weakness. You would die for sure if I were to destroy your Yuan Shen.”

One after another, the miniature King Tengs were burnt into ash and the vine man who was set ablaze angrily rushed towards Zhong Yue in a final act of desperation.

Zhong Yue, however, ignored it and he said, “The only reason I flew towards the outside of the palace was to ensure that there would be no path of retreat for your Yuan Shen. I have to wipe out your Yuan Shen to preclude you from resurrecting as your Yuan Shen could easily revive yourself if it was hidden into one of your vines, leaves, stems or roots. I checked how far your seal could cover so that my 【Boundless Great Sun】 could cover every part of your body.”

The huge vine man roared and his four arms smashed towards the inextinguishable flame. Those flame were created by the Sun totem carvings and the Great Sun Golden Crows totem carvings that were carved onto him with Zhong Yue’s seven Sword Qi. Zhong Yue treated the body of the vine man as a huge stake upon which, he carved the totem carvings to produce an undying fire that will never stop burning until their target died.

Besides, there’s this Zhong Yue who kept on detonating the traps that laid into the body of the vine man, pouring oil onto fire, causing the fire to burn even stronger!

Zhong Yue just stood there and he let the four fists strike onto him but before these fists could even land on him, the vines were already burnt into ashes and the fists fell helplessly onto the ground.

The huge vine treant let out an angry roar and his remaining four hands were already burnt into ash before he could even lift them up again. Then, his burnt legs could no longer support his heavy body and he fell down onto the ground.

“Previously, I was worried that your roots could burrow deep into the mountain below this palace so I only unleashed half of my sun into the skies while I left the other half deep in the ground, incinerate the entire mountain so that your roots would also be burnt to dust.”

Zhong Yue then looked at the burning vine man and the countless King Tengs that were set ablaze by his three-taloned golden crows.

“But even then, I was still worried that you hid part of your body in the black forest outside of the palace. I assume that you still have a layer of protection that could protect you from dying since you could face all of these so peacefully without any fear of death. As long as your Yuan Shen could return to that part of the hidden body then you would be able to survive.”

He then smiled and said, “With that strong vitality of yours, your Yuan Shen should be able to sustain for a long period after leaving your body for a long time, long enough for you to return and search for the other parts of the body. Therefore, I have to destroy your Yuan Shen here so you can truly die! King Teng, are you still not going to show me your Yuan Shen?”

As soon as Zhong Yue was done talking, King Teng’s Yuan Shen could be seen dashing out of the palace from a pile of ashes like a slithering snake!

“Long Yue, I have lost the fight today and you will now become the strongest Rebirth level Qi Practitioner among the monsters! But don’t be so full of yourself as you will not be able to live for much longer after this!”

The weird vine was the Yuan Shen of King Teng. Judging from the appearance of the vine, he was a jade green vine that became a monster, later becoming a Qi Practitioner in the Ju Xia Valley. He then managed to acquire his spirituality after being exposed to the essence of the Sun and the Moon to produce his own soul. However, no matter how strong he was, the root of his soul would always be a jade green vine.

The soul is the root of all types of Yuan Shen. All types of spirits could turn into different forms of Yuan Shen just like how Zhong Yue’s Yuan Shen could turn into the Great Sun Golden Crow, the three-taloned crow faced celestial man or even the Moon Starry Jade Toad. But the base of the Yuan Shen was immutable and will forever be one’s soul - his being the soul of a human.

The spirit acquired by King Teng was a type of godly vine spirit that enabled him to shift into the form of a strange vine that would lend him an additional degree of flexibility and agility so as to facilitate underground travel and escape, while also being able to hide his Yuan Shen.

King Teng’s voice could then be heard from the strange vine Yuan Shen, “You have that creature’s key and that is the key leading straight to the treasure protected by the Monster God Ming King. Thus, all I have to do is just expose this information to everyone and you will definitely die. You will die in the cruelest and gruesome way and you will die in a very short period of time! But for me? I will remain as the strongest Rebirth level Qi Practitioner in the city and become the disciple of the Saint City Lord!”

“But, that is ultimately predicated on you being alive to tell the tale!”

Zhong Yue pointed out his fingers and the seven Sword Qi flew into the ground, turning into a Sword Seven Style Slaughtering Array. However, the vine had a high mobility, making it difficult trap.

Besides, the 【Seventh Sword Style】 was not as flexible in the ground as it was in the air, resulting in the strange vine managing to escape from the 【Seventh Sword Style】 to reach outside of the palace.

The strange vine Yuan Shen moved in the scorching ground while the other half of the Unlimited Great Sun in the ground incinerated the mountain, producing an ocean of lava that flowed everywhere around the palace.

Under the palace was a hill located high above the abyss under the support of huge pillars and Absolute Decimation Seals covered the entire space outside of the palace, eliminating any and all chances of ever stepping foot anywhere except for the pontoon bridge. Zhong Yue’s Unlimited Great Sun precisely covered the entire Ming King palace and the hill.

Then, the strange vine Yuan Shen could be seen flying out from the mountain and slithering on the pontoon bridge trying to escape.

At the same time, the divine third eye of Zhong Yue’s Yuan Shen opened and shot out a divine laser towards the strange vine. The laser then accurately landed on the strange vine Yuan Shen, cutting it into two pieces as Zhong Yue floated at the top of the palace.

The strange vine let out a shriek and the soul of King Teng residing in the strange vine immediately dispersed!

On the stage linked by the pontoon bridges, Yu Xuanji and Hu Qimei received the shock of their lives and their jaws dropped onto the ground.

“King Teng is dead! Brother Long Yue actually killed him! How is this possible!”

The two monsters shouted, “How could someone as strong as King Teng die just like that?”

On the top of the Monster God Ming King’s palace, the fiery great sun suddenly disappeared and Zhong Yue’s Yuan Shen also vanished into the thin air.
